Hi Brito,
I am very new to the vegan diet (just started TODAY in fact!) but I have my own opinions on processed foods in general... I tend to cook from scratch (previously my household comprised of 2 vegetarians and 5 meat eaters) but if the occasion called for it I wouldn't beat myself up for buying a box of beanburgers or a ready-made lasagne. In my opinion we do what we can, when we can; for some that is all the time, for others it is a less so. There is plenty of research available about the unnecessary ingredients in processed foods to prolong its shelf life among other issues with mass-produced goods, but at the end of the day you have to decide if you want to avoid them all the time, most of the time or not at all. We can't be slaves to guilt and worry about what others may think. What do YOU think? Just my take on it.
Much love
